Skyhook Station Keeping (If Equipped)
The vessel may be equipped with the Skyhook Station Keeping feature. This system utilizes global positioning system technology
(GPS) and an electronic compass to automatically control shifting, throttling, and steering to maintain heading and approximate
position. This feature can be helpful when waiting for space near a fuel dock, waiting for bridges to open, or when the water is too
deep for an anchor.
Skyhook does not maintain an exact fixed position, but rather will hold the vessel in a fixed compass heading within an area. The
size of this area is affected by the accuracy of the GPS satellite system, the satellite signal quality, the physical position of the
satellites relative to the receiver, solar flares and the proximity of the receiver on the vessel to large structures and trees.
